First not all growth are cancerous we have many which are nit.
What is the age of your daughter? most of cancer if the are common below 10 yrs and more so beliw 5 yrs. thid tumiur is xalled Retinoblastoma, the commonest childhood tumour.
So the best is to wait for the surgery and biopsy histology diagnosis by a pathologist
No need to worry especially if she us above 10 yrs
